We built Elcomsoft Internet Password Breaker with digital forensics in mind. The tool offers a fully automatic, one-click solution for making a filtered dictionary containing each and every password extracted from the user’s computer. Using a high-quality dictionary containing the user’s existing passwords can tremendously increase effectiveness of brute-force attacks performed by other ElcomSoft tools such as Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery or Elcomsoft Advanced Office Password Recovery.
According to various researches, some 70 per cent of consumers reuse their passwords. In as many as 70 per cent of cases, a password protecting a hard-to-crack Office 2013 document, BitLocker volume or RAR5 archive would be a simple variation of one of the user’s other passwords. Using the filtered wordlist produced by Elcomsoft Internet Password Breaker in Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery with simple mutations (such as appending up to 4 digits to the end of each password) can solve up to 70 per cent of cases in a matter of minutes. Adding a more complex mutation will increase the time spent on attacks, but may deliver even better results.
Elcomsoft Internet Password Breaker works instantly and automatically. The tool automatically detects applications, locates all available user identities and accounts, and extracts all cached information such as AutoComplete forms, pre-filled forms, logins and passwords protecting mailboxes, identities and user accounts.
While the tool comes with extensive exporting functionality, it offers a fully featured interactive mode as well. In this mode, experts can review information about the user’s applications, identities, accounts and passwords via convenient graphical interface.
Microsoft Edge Chromium is the second most popular desktop Web browser based on usage. With Microsoft bringing the new Chromium-based Edge browser to every Windows computer, Microsoft Edge can become Chrome’s major competitor.
Unlike Internet Explorer and Edge Legacy, which employ Microsoft DPAPI to encrypt passwords, Edge Chromium uses industry-standard AES-256 encryption to protect passwords. Internet Password Breaker fully supports the extraction of passwords stored in Microsoft Edge Chromium and several other Chromium-based browsers. In addition, the tool also supports Edge Legacy and Internet Explorer passwords.
Elcomsoft Internet Password Breaker instantly displays the original plain-text passwords protecting mailboxes, POP3, IMAP, SMTP and NNTP news accounts and user identities in a variety of Microsoft email clients. All versions of Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail are supported, including Microsoft Passport passwords in Windows Live Mail.
